Heres the scandalous truth: we can be loved, accepted, happy, and less stressed without being perfect. Truly. As women, we tend to look at perfection as a superpower. If we could only be perfect, then we could beat depression, banish anxiety, and create unbreakable relationships. Being perfect feels like the best protection in a world that demands we have it all together.
But chasing perfection has hidden dangers. What we believe will lead us out of depression and anxiety may actually be part of what got us there in the first place. And the pursuit of perfection can keep us from discovering Gods purpose for our lives. It can distort who he created us to be, and then the world misses out on the gifts only we have to offer.
Heres the reality: youre not supposed to be perfect . Youre supposed to be human. And humans are messy, flawed, glorious, and deeply loved. Jesus already knows all of that about you. He can handle who you are. He doesnt expect you to be perfect. And if he doesnt, then you dont need to expect perfection from yourself either. Yes, when you read that it probably sounds a bit scandalous too. Thats because many of us have believed twisted truths about what God wants from us. Please hang in there with meI promise we will get to the doubts and questions that are probably popping into your mind right now.
For now its time to lay down those unrealistic expectations that exhaust you.
Its time to embrace who you areeven the messy parts.
Its time to start living fully instead of just trying not to fail.
The pursuit of perfection keeps us from joy, love, peace, hope, and so many of the other gifts God intends for us. And heres the beautiful reality: you dont have to miss out any longer. Yes, embracing imperfection can be scaryespecially when perfection has motivated us for a long time. But on the other side is freedom beyond what we could have imagined.
I speak about this from experience because Im a recovering perfectionist. I know what its like to trade law for grace and condemnation for love. And Im more comfortable in my own skin and more in love with Jesus than ever before. Do I have it all together? Nope. And Im okay with saying that out loud. Because I finally understand that Im accepted anyway.
Lets stop trying to be perfect, friend. Instead lets be who God made us to be. Lets dare to live with joy. Lets embrace the freedom that is already ours through Jesus.
You dont have to be so tired anymore.
You dont have to live with a heart thats afraid.
You dont have to feel as if youre never enough.
Today can be a new beginning. Right here. Right now.
Are you ready?
Ways Your Life May Be Affected by the Pressure to Be Perfect
Place an X by each description you can relate to .
| ____ | Isolation or Loneliness When we believe we have to be perfect, we may hide our true selves from others. Even when were in a crowd, we can feel alone. We worry someone will discover who we really are and then well be rejected. |
